Wells is the Hitting Coach

[angeleast]

Ignore that press release. Jake Wells is the hitting coach, period. Talbot isn’t in charge anymore, period.

Matt, I trust Cajun T and he has said your a upstanding fella.. So you say Wells is the man and basically Talbot the "no hits"coach is a figure head?

I’ve been told, almost word for word, JT will not interact with the hitters in any significant way.

Wells is in charge.

I've been told, almost word for word, JT will not interact with the hitters in any significant way.

You along with the WORLD have also been told "word for word" (and not almost) that "Jeremy Talbot will assist with the hitters."

So which one is it?

Jake Wells is the hitting coach. Talbot is not. There would be no point in hiring Wells otherwise.

Kendall Rogers had it right in his tweet. If our offense sucks next year, it won’t be because of JT.

As far as Bab, he will have the exact same job duties except he won’t be in the dugout.

[Rougarou]

And when Jake wells turns our offense around, he’ll be #2 in charge at a P5 before the next season. Argue all you want, he’s maybe 3rd in command now but history tells me he’s really 4th here.

This is my only concern. He will be third in command, but if he does his job well (similar to Deggs), they better shift that hierarchy real fast if they have any hopes of keeping him.

You are further confirmation.. Thanks Brother! Too bad our UL information people can screw up the narrative. Our sports Info person needs to fine tune.

So....the associate head coach, 2nd in command, highest paid assistant.... is not in the dugout. Interesting. Not sure I've ever seen an organization run that way

Definitely not normal. My question is, if Robe gets suspended or thrown out, does Bab come into the dugout as the “associate head coach”? I would think not. I’m starting to believe it is an empty title with higher pay.

After all is said and done, I trust in Robe. I trust there is a reason to his recent Madness. He deserves that respect.

[CajunVic]

Ran into someone very close to the organization this week and he said that the coaching situation is a dumpster fire over there. This all appears to back up such an analysis.

Who's on first, what is on third and coach stop sign is still assisting with hitting. Nobody knows where the assistant head coach will be.

Knowing the quite vocal negative sentiments of much of the fan base and the regular posters on this board towards JT, it is utterly amazing that a press release from the university would say anything other than "JT will no longer be involved with hitting" unless, he will really be involved with hitting.

So, JT will continue to have some meaningful role with hitters, or

either

the persons who generated and approved the press release which the fan base has been waiting on for months have no clue; or

the intent in stating that "Jeremy Talbot will assist with the hitters" was to continue to ___ with those with the vocal sentiments of displeasure for JT.

Pick your poison.
